No more SBC "brake by wire" crap on the E63.

E55 is a 8 POT caliper, the E63 is a 6 POT caliper.

could not modulate braking for the life of me.

The E63 runs 2 piece rotors (aluminum hat). The weight on each is just under 5lbs lighter.

The E63 will give more feedback, since it does not have brake by wire, although I like it. I'd rather have my input go at the speed of light and get my feels from elsewhere.
